Introduction
Thesis: The Ocean is often an
element in many films that a crew must make a creative decision on how they would
like to portray it and by what methods to use to make it believable.
Introduce: Two films portray that
portray the ocean be different means, Bruce Almighty and Song of The Sea. One
achieves this by using practical effects and the other with computer graphics.
Paragraph 1
Song of the Sea is a film where
the ocean is a major character. It is highly stylized and often times appears
symbolic. The crew working on this animated film chose to animate the sea with
computer graphics in a 2D animated style. It is intentional portrayed as
unrealistic, instead the animators decide to use stylized symbolization to make
the ocean look unique and mysterious. The crew took artistic liberties in
rendering the ocean. Storms were also stylized and animated to appear very
dramatic for effect.
Paragraph 2
In the film Bruce Almighty the
ocean appears as it does in the real world. The crew do not take any artistic
liberties, instead use practical effects to make the Ocean look as believable
as it does in real life. The ocean was not actually used in the making of this
film, instead a giant reservoir of water was filled up to make a miniature lake
on the Universal Studios set. Then a giant wall behind the manmade lake was painted
by an artist to make the background appear as though it was the horizon line
and the sky. These practical effects keep us from being pulled out of the move
by appearing jarring and unrealistic. A storm was achieved by having a large
sprinkler system in involved in where the water was drained from the floor and recycled
to return to the sprinkler system.
Paragraph 3
Both film took different routes in
portraying the Sea and both did a good job of capturing the feel of an ocean.
Depending on the style of the movie and whether or not live action or 2D
animation is gives the crew several options on how to tackle rendering the sea.
Both achieve making the sea appear believable by using their own methods.
